Hello all,

Happy New Year! I hope the new year is off to a great start. Mine has gotten off to a great ART start with an exhibition at the Stittsville Library (main street) with an exhibition called “East Coast”. This exhibition is hanging in the Stittsville library from January 2nd to the 30th.

I will also have an art display at the Foyer Gallery Display case that is inside the Nepean Sportsplex. This display case is not located inside the gallery but in a hall not far from the gallery. I will be showing here for the month of February. A few new art pieces will be on display.

Other shows will be coming as well in the Spring. I will let you know closer to the dates.

Enjoy the shows.

It was a great vacation! Lots of inspiration in everything I see on the coast. From the ocean, beaches and food but most of all the people. I love going home to Nova Scotia. The walks along the board walks to the sound of the wave makes by pulling the ocean over the rocks.

I have many, many lovely pictures to create new art work and I can’t wait to get started. I did get to paint while on vacation. I created two small paintings.

I do have a few shows coming up! August 22nd at the Richmond Village Farmers Market which has been moved to the village. I will be participating in the Wall Candy show at the Wesley Clover Park, on Corksdown Road, Kanata Sept 11th and 12th. Plus, other dates in September so I will confirm them in the next week and let you know.

Also, while in Nova Scotia I had my artwork printed on many bags for the Wall Candy show by Mint River Promotions.

I have been relaxing but now it is time to get back to work. Hope to see you at one of the shows and chat.
